Located in Kenya, with 1 million residents, Kibera is Africa’s largest slum. Increasing poverty, HIV/AIDS, ethnic violence, and an ongoing food crisis pose great threats to Kibera’s residents. Many children raised in this environment, unable to attend school and left alone at home, seek companionship on the streets where they are vulnerable to abuse. This project offers a unique alternative for the children: a safe place where they are educated and receive the love and care necessary for growth.
The project provides orphans and vulnerable children ages 3-7 with early education, two daily meals, a school uniform and supplies, and the attention and care of a dedicated teaching and support staff at the St. Vincent de Paul Nursery School.
Total Funding Received to Date: $22,927
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $27,073
Total Funding Goal: $50,000

My school is St. Vincent de Paul Nursery School. I am in pre-unit. I like my school. I like all the teachers. I like to read. I take porridge in school and eat good food in school.
